X the Unknown - BLU-RAY

This atmospheric Hammer Studios sci-fi tale transforms Cold War dread into a lurking, oozing threat. When military experiments revive a creature hungry for radioactive power, the quiet Scottish countryside becomes a battlefield. Dean Jagger provides steadiness at the center, while the film's stark tone and minimalist effects emphasize unease over spectacle. It's a reminder that Hammer could unsettle without relying on Gothic castles or capes.

Ti West's acclaimed throwback shocker also stars Jenna Ortega, Kid Cudi, Brittany Snow, Martin Henderson, Owen Campbell. 106 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
